12 Page 12 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper Candidate name and number Centre number The construction village will be developed as a residential leisure centre and will provide Hydroelectricity generation winter sports activities as well as outdoor adventure pursuits. This should bring longterm prosperity to the region without changing the essential character of the landscape. Traditional water supplies have not been cut off by the building of the dam. Spillways are built into the sides of the dam to allow water to continue down the old river courses so that villages downstream do not lose their water supplies as a result of this modernisation project. However, the constant dangers of annual flooding will be minimised. Benefits of the project Water has now been flowing to the new supply systems for drinking water piped to villages and homes. No longer will people have to trek long distances daily to wells to draw water. The old traditions of washing clothes in the streams will no longer be necessary. Water will be safe to drink and childhood diseases will be reduced. Built into massive tunnels under the dam is a power station which is now ready to start supplying electricity to the grid. As the grid develops, power will be distributed to some 50,000 homes. Many of these will receive mains electricity for the first time. New factories are being built and these will draw their power from the clean energy of the hydroelectric station. New employment opportunities will grow for those who wish to change their lives into a manufacturing environment. We are delighted to announce that this stage of the hydroelectric station is now complete and commissioned ready to start generating power. It was officially opened by the Minister of State for the Environment at a ceremony last Tuesday.
